Asymmetry and Symmetry in the Beauty of Human Faces
: The emphasis in the published literature has mostly been on symmetry as the critical source for beauty judgment. In fact, both symmetry and asymmetry serve as highly aesthetic so...

Efficient approximate verification of B and Z models via symmetry markers
Abstract We present a new approximate verification technique for falsifying the invariants of B models. The technique employs symmetry of B models induced by the use of deferred se...

Bilateral Symmetry Detection for Real-time Robotics Applications
Bilateral symmetry is a salient visual feature of many man-made objects. In this paper, we present research that use bilateral symmetry to identify, segment and track objects in re...
